Once upon a time my maternal grandfather's relatives got off a boat from Ireland and the census says they worked as maids. According to family lore (and historical records) the people they worked for kept all the spices, tea, coffee, chocolate, etc in a locking cabinet in a pantry because it was rare and expensive and you can't have the help using it all. I've always wondered what they would think of the Apothecary. If they were anything like my Grandpa Jake they would laugh at my social media page because half this humor comes from him. Maybe someday I'll give a tour to my other ancestral lines.... Just don't tell the Spanish you guys call me the village witch.
